Today in Poland we celebrate a great day – the Mother’s Day. It seems that in every country it falls on a different date, and in Poland it’s always 26th May. So on this exceptional day I would like to wish to all Mothers (and of course especially to my Mother) all the best, days filled with smiles, happiness, health and that their children don’t give them any reasons to worry ;-)

Since we’re already talking about freshening up your wardrobe for the Spring season, here’s another tip – dresses and other clothes from my favourite and very creative Dutch brand DIDI. Here are a few pieces I love, and you can find more at www.didi.nl
Spring has finally arrived, and with it the time of the year when a woman's wardrobe needs some changes ;-) I always consider it a good time to go looking for a new handbag – something bright, cheerful, made from light materials. As always, I started by handbag-hunting with a visit to Accessorize store, but I have to say that for the first time I was a bit disappointed, and I couldn’t find anything to fall in love with. It’s hard to say exactly why, but the new collection just doesn’t do it for me. Here are a few chosen pieces – still colourful, bright and cheerful, but somehow a bit off… Or maybe it’s just that none of these would be good for a hot Spring in the city – they’d fit better with holidays. And what do you think? I love forests - especially the ones that look wild and overflow with abundant greenery. Who doesn’t? And Spring is probably one of the best times to go for a long walk through one of them – everything looks so fresh and alive, birds are singing and the mosquitoes haven’t woken up yet ;-)T
he town of Krynica Morska, where we’ve recently stayed for a weekend, was surrounded by this kind of fairy-tale forest. And of course when I wandered through it, I had my camera with me, so here are a few up-close shots of a beautiful forest which has finally woken up after the winter slumber. And I’m back! I have another super-busy week behind me, so I’ve neglected The Creative Life a bit, but I promise I’ll make it up to you :-) And I have a very good excuse – I’ve been working on a new project – a blog which combines my two major passions – floral work and photography. I’m finally launching it today – so I’m officially inviting you to visit FotoFlorystyka! This blog is in Polish, but it’ll be photo-heavy as well, so if you’re a florist, a flower designer, a passionate gardener or you simply love flowers – you’ll find something for yourself there. Why have I started it? Well, I’ve been living in Poland for about a year now, and the more I have to do with the floral industry here, the more I see that the topic of taking photos of one’s floral work is being awfully neglected. And it’s just so frustrating to see how the beauty of an incredible flower arrangement goes to waste, since its photos are far from capturing it. At the same time, I’m in a unique position to understand both worlds – as an experienced photographer, and a florist-in-training. So there is a need, a void, and I’ve an ambition to fill it… Where will it lead? I have no idea… But please, keep your fingers crossed for me, and visit FotoFlorystyka as often as you can, and add it to the pages you like! Tulip exhibition at the Castle in Malbork Remember yesterday, when I wrote that we didn't go straight home, but did some sightseeing on the way? Well, we went to visit the Castle in Malbork, a medieval fortress built by the Teutonic Knights. Till today, it's one of the largest and most impressive gothic castles in the world - but I'll write more about it later this week. Once we arrived, a nice surprise was waiting for us - it turned out that on this very weekend a Tulip Exibition was taking place. So today I'd like to invite you to my coverage of this event, which you'll find here - those of you who speak Polish, can both read the text and see the photos, and those who do not can concentrate on the latter ;-) Enjoy!

Hi everyone, I'm back from my romantic weekend :-) It was a long journey yesterday, since we did some more sightseeing on the way, but we finally got home yesterday evening.
The get-away was great, Krynica Morska off-season is a perfect place for a relaxing break - if you feel like abandoning for a few days everything city life has to offer. In return, you get the sea, beach, forests, lake and generally a lot of nature. Before I have time to write something more, here is a peek preview of a few shots from this area of Poland: And a change of plans again - my husband is "kidnapping" me for a romantic weekend at the seaside, to a small town of Krynica Morska, which is supposed to be a very picturesque one. We're leaving in about an hour!!! So please keep your fingers crossed for a good, sunny weather this weekend, and hopefully I'll get many reasons to take my camera out of its bag ;-) And I'm back :-) And I have quite a few days of not-blogging to make up to you... I'm starting today, with one last post about Easter :-)
I guess every country has its own traditions concerning Easter, but quite a few many cultures in Europe believe in an Easter Bunny, which brings children small treats and presents on Easter Saturday or Sunday. And in Poland we believe that in order to get the Bunny to be generous, we need to leave for him a special nest on a window sill, filled with grass or hay, where he'll be comfortable leaving the presents (and probably taking a short break ;-). And that's also one of the reasons why a nest has become a popular theme in Easter decorations - here are my 3 ideas for it, which you can use as inspiration: |
